"Sister Yunlu, please remember that no matter what, if your army goes to Xudu, it will encounter obstacles from the local defenders on the way..."...
Cai Zhaoji told Ma Yunlu in a serious tone:
"So... if you really want to know the truth, you must take Wuguan City and go straight to Xiangyang... The battle on the front line of Xiangyang is urgent... Prime Minister Cao! There must be no time to escape from it... Not only that..."
"Maybe you can meet my husband..."
"If you encounter General Ma Teng who is intact by then, please come back quickly - what sister Yunlu should say and what shouldn't be said... As long as you go, you will definitely get the truth of the matter, no matter what I say It’s no use—”
Ma Yunlu's eyes widened, because after listening to Cai Zhaoji's words, it seemed as if...as if their father Ma Teng was fine at all...What is going on?
Ma Yunlu was a little dizzy and her head was swollen. She supported Cai Zhaoji in front of her and asked in a rather sincere tone:
"Sister Zhaoji...you mean...our father is not dead?"
"Little sister! It's time to go...Why are you still staying there?"
Ma Chao on the other side was tired of listening to Zhong Yao's excuses and analysis... Also, although Zhong Yao had a clear mind and was keenly aware of the clues in this matter, in the final analysis, his way of speaking was not as easy as Wang Yi's. accept.
Ma Chao only thought that Zhong Yao was sophistry - even if Zhong Yao's analysis was logically logical...
It's a pity... Wang Yi, who is eloquent, rushed to Jicheng after explaining to everyone before - his husband, Qiang Taoist order Zhao Ang, was leading a group of Liangzhou soldiers and horses to be stationed in Jicheng at this time... Wang Yi was also there I am working hard to defend Chang'an...but I just don't know if I can make it in time...
After shouting at Ma Dai and Ma Yunlu who were still behind Zhong Yao in the distance and did not know what they were doing, Ma Chao directly drew his sword and stood in front of Zhong Yao...
Zhong Yao was forced back by the murderous aura emanating from Ma Chao, leaving a passage for the two people behind him. Ma Chao frowned and turned to leave. Before leaving, he said to Pang De:
"Pang De, do your best, we Ma family will not owe them anything from now on..."
"General...obey your orders..."
Pang De responded in a deep voice and said goodbye to Ma Chao and Ma Tie with his eyes...
Ma Yunlu, who was urged to leave, looked at Cai Zhaoji with gentle eyes in front of him, and wanted to say something reluctantly, but Cai Zhaoji committed suicide and said to her:
"Go, remember what sister told you... If possible, tell Brother Ma Dai about it too... I believe you can all understand my sister's good intentions..."
"I see…"
It seems that his confidence in finding his father has been rekindled, or maybe he felt the love from elder women that he rarely experienced in Cai Zhaoji. In short... When Ma Yunlu said goodbye to several people, he no longer felt the same weakness and confusion as before.
"drive!"
Ma Yunlu and Ma Dai both left, following Ma Chao... The four sons of the Ma family flew away. Under the escort of tens of thousands of Xiliang Jingqi, they rushed to the southeast...
"Take care of yourself…"
Cai Zhaoji murmured, watching the leaving figures of the Ma brothers and sisters, with light flowing in her eyes. Diao Chan and Lu Lingqi beside her sighed, knowing that Cai Zhaoji had more ideas, so they didn't need to say anything more...
"Sister, could it be that you already...have a solution?"
Diao Chan has been learning business from Cai Zhaoji for a long time... However, hard work is one thing. Some people are born to be more agile in thinking. Cai Zhaoji shook her head and patted the two people around her:
"It's not really a solution, but rather than leaving it to fate... I believe that your husband will do what we can't do."
Cai Zhaoji smiled, and when she mentioned Yi Xiaotian, the three of them laughed in perfect agreement.
Why did Cai Zhaoji say that Ma Yunlu had to convince Ma Chao to take the road to Wuguancheng?
This comes from the understanding and trust of Yi Xiaotian... Cai Zhaoji believes that no matter what, as long as she receives her letter... Even if she doesn't get a glimpse of the truth of the matter... Yi Xiaotian will never do anything...
And if Yi Xiaotian comes in person...whether with Ma Teng or with the truth...he will definitely choose to come with Wuguancheng...
Even if it takes a dangerous path and encounters a crisis situation...
As long as Ma Chao can meet Yi Xiaotian... Chang'an will definitely be saved!
And what about the facts?
It was almost exactly what Cai Zhaoji had predicted... The moment Ma Chao left Chang'an... happened to be the same moment Yi Xiaotian decided to leave Xiangyang for Chang'an.
Such a tacit understanding can only be achieved by Cai Zhaoji, who has been with Yi Xiaotian since the earliest days...
It's just that... Zhong Yao, who was melancholy on the side, was looking at the following women with great confusion, thinking that they were laughing at his gaffe:
"Girls, you can still laugh now...General Ma is gone...there are only a few thousand soldiers and horses...how can we defend Chang'an City?"
"To be honest... girls... Mr. Yi must be very worried about your comfort... Why don't I send someone to escort you out of Chang'an as soon as possible... This way, I will feel better..."
Zhong Yao couldn't bear it... He was an old guy, and his body was half buried in the ground. Even if he died in Chang'an, he would still have a reputation as a loyal man... But several young girls who are as blooming as flowers, if they ask for it,
And stayed in Chang'an... and eventually died because of this... Zhong Yao felt that even if he died, he would be ashamed of Yi Xiaotian.
"We appreciate Governor Zhong's kindness... But... since we agreed to the Governor and Sister Wang Yi, the three of us will definitely stay in Chang'an and fight alongside you... As for if we lose the battle..."
Cai Zhaoji didn't finish her words, because she looked over Zhong Yao's head and saw a strange-looking bird circling slowly in the clear sky.
"Hey, I'd better go make some arrangements now. Chang'an... probably can't be defended... But don't worry, girls, I will definitely let my subordinates protect your safety..."
"Ahem...Miss Cai...what are you...looking at?"
Zhong Yao spoke earnestly to the three women, but after saying that, he saw that the other three's attention was not on his side at all... He felt a little embarrassed at the moment... Seeing the three of them holding their heads high, Zhong Yao asked feebly...
But Lu Lingqi shouted happily:
"Sister, look...look! That's not..."
"It's Luo'er's sachet!"
Diao Chan also exclaimed...
There was a sparkle in Cai Zhaoji's eyes... Wherever she looked, a clever bird, holding Zhen Luo's unique sachet in its mouth, was slowly flying towards everyone.
Lu Lingqi jumped up and directly caught the bird, which happened to have lost all power and fell straight to the ground.
Cai Zhaoji smiled and pointed at the bird and sachet:
"Prefect Zhong, there is no need to panic... I see, Chang'an has been saved."
